image Spent my afternoon loading my books back into their home on my bookshelf. How do you all organize your bookshelves? I generally go from most authoritative to least authoritative. So... - Original Language OT and NT (Still need to pick up a Hebrew OT) - Bible Translations - Secondary Standards, such as the Westminster standards and my denomination's BCO. - Systematic Theologies - Bible Commentaries - Biblical History and Archaeology - Post-Apostolic Church History - Other Christian Writing - Other Non-Fiction - Fiction #Christian #Reformed #catholic

I also organize most authorative -> least based on scripture with secular works exiting below scripture/theology on my bookshelf.
This is a pretty good heuristic. I put reference stuff very low, and books that I want my kids to pick up when they're bored on the second shelf from the bottom. Other than that, I try to organize by topic: theology, literature, technology, etc. But my shelves are a disaster at the moment.
